Soft Cap at $35 Million to begin the new CBA and a min spending at $31 million.
After the first season the cap is set differently each year at 55% of Revenue. So it will increase and deacrease with the health of the league, the accounting and end of season revenue is done by a group both the NHLPA and NHL agree upon.

Bonuses are capped at $100,000.00 per player and it cannot exceed this amount in no shape or form.
Escrow with 7.5% of player salaries that go into this and 5% of revenue, at the end of the season is Salaries exceed the cap, then the escrow kicks in until the salaries are at the 55%, and left over is then given to players. If 55% of less then the escrow is divided to the players.
Signing Bonus, teams can offer a Signing bonus up to $10 million upfront to a player, which will be spread out during the duration of the contract at only 50% of the bonus. So if Player X signs a 5 year 25 Million contract, and he is given a bonus of $6 million upfron then 50% of the bonus is taken which is $3 million and divided by 5 which comes out to $600,000, which is then coutned against the cap, the contract can be structred which ever way but the bonus cannot.
Realesing a player, if you want to release a player because he is not performing, then the following applies.
Players making the min to 2 Million can be released but 75% of the salary must be paid, and the remaning 25% will count against the teams cap the next season(excluding bonuses signed), the team will still be charged the full 100% of the players salary for year.
